He is accompanied on this journey by [[{{Tsundere}} Ailee]], Greylee's experienced hunter of a daughter, and [[NiceGirl Sakya]], the daughter of a famous Equipment Technician.

9	----
10	!!This manga provides examples of:
11
12	* AndTheAdventureContinues: At the end of the story, they're seen going off on a quest with new armor and their weapons upgraded.
13	* {{BFS}}: Greylee was a Greatsword specialist.
14	* BlowYouAway: It's what makes Kushala Daora so godly in this story. While there are monsters in the original series that use the air as part of their attacks or abilities in some form or other, Kushala Daora is the only one capable of truly ''weaponizing'' it. Consider that this is a world where Wind is ''not'' part of the ElementalRockPaperScissors circle, and is thus universally powerful (no resistances = full-on damage all the time), and that normally Kushala Daora weapons deal Ice damage.
15	** Also why Shiki's dual swords are always the most powerful weapons on display, since they're made with scales shed from a Kushala Daora. They become even stronger later when he gets parts from Miogaruna.
16	** The reason Greylee takes Shiki under his wing is because of his ablity to see wind patterns, which he observed when [[spoiler:Shiki literally rides the wind up to the Kushala Daora just to tell it that someday he will hunt it down.]]
17	* BrokenBird: Ailee, and her whole anger about anything concerning TrueCompanions. [[spoiler: A flashback reveals her story with a previous party, whose members, three nameless guys, she considered as such, and how they basically traumatized her about trusting anyone but herself.]]
18	* BoyMeetsGirl: More like Boy Meets Girl Who Tells Boy To Get Off Of Her Seat.
19	* CallingYourAttacks
20	* CelibateHero: From the looks of it, Ailee.
21	* ChasteHero: Shiki.
22	* CurbstompBattle: EVERY. SINGLE. BATTLE.
23	* {{Expy}}: Shiki looks like [[Manga/FairyTail Gray]], but acts like [[Manga/FairyTail Natsu]].
24	** Ailee looks like a tomboyish [[Manga/FairyTail Lucy]], and Curlon looks like [[Manga/RaveMaster Seig Hart]] or an older [[Manga/FairyTail Leon]].
25	* FanService
26	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Shiki - '''[[color:maroon:sanguine]]''', [[spoiler:Curlon]] - '''[[color:orange:choleric]]''', Sakya - '''[[color:black:melancholic]]''', Ailee - '''[[color:green:phlegmatic]]'''.
27	* FreudianTrio: Shiki (Id), Ailee (Ego), and Sakuya (Superego).
28	* HopelessSuitor: Curlon for Ailee.
29	* GirlishPigtails: Ailee. The ribbons quite possibly double as [[UnusualEars nekomimi]], at least, according to Shiki.
30	* GratuitousFrench: ''"Orage"'' is French for "storm".
31	* IWorkAlone: Ailee initially. See ''Broken Bird''
32	* {{Keet}}: Dear god, Shiki.
33	* LoveTriangle: Curlon think he has this with Shiki and Ailee. He couldn't be more wrong.
34	* MeaningfulName: Like all of Mashima's heroes who are named after a season, Shiki is no exception - his name means "four seasons."
35	* ParentalAbandonment: Shiki is an orphan, Ailee lost her father, and Sakuya's father went missing [[spoiler: (They find his body later though)]] and her mother died.
36	* ThePowerOfFriendship
37	* TheRival: Curlon sees Shiki as a love rival for Ailee, though it is both a one-sided rivalry ''and'' a one-sided love.
38	* RivalsTeamUp:[[spoiler: Curlon joins Shiki, Ailee, and Sakuya in defeating the Girkuza. He seems to only team up with Shiki simply for Ailee's sake when she tells him to believe in Shiki because he's her {{True Companion\|s}}. Though by the end of the series he seems to have loosened up and joined their party full time.]]
39	* ShipTease: [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Shiki/Ailee]], [[DoggedNiceGuy Curlon/Ailee]], [[BirdsOfAFeather Shiki/Sakuya]]... Even [[PairTheSpares Curlon/Sakya]]. Yeah, pretty much any time anybody gets screen time with someone else. It's probably because there is no OfficialCouple in the series.
40	* {{Shounen}}
41	* ShrinkingViolet: Sakya.
42	* TrueCompanions: invoked, deconstructed, rebuilt and played beautifully straight. In that order.
43	* {{Tsundere}}: Ailee.
44	* WorthyOpponent: Pretty much the reason the Kushala Daora let a younger Shiki ''live'' [[SuicidalOverconfidence simply for challenging it]]. Consider for a moment that Kushala Daora is an Elder Dragon, a monster that is capable of ''ending the world'', and that Shiki is probably about six or seven at the time. For a young boy to be riding on winds, and challenging a monster of such power, who ''wouldn't'' be impressed?
